To celebrate the occasion, a Luke Air Force Base honor guard performed a presentation of colors in accompaniment to Pastor Mark of Grace Walk Church, who sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Pizzillo received acknowledgement for his community work, which centered on supporting and assisting youth with autism and special needs. He also signed certificates of honor for local heroes at the event. Additionally, guests were given gift bags courtesy of the United States Air Force.

On November 22, 2025, Pizzillo previously received an award from Focus Comic honoring his public service, and he walked underneath a USAF saber arch. In addition to helping autistic and special needs children and highlighting those in the community with similar goals, Focus Comic regularly honors firefighters, police officers, and military servicemembers through initiatives like its Living Legends Art Exhibition. Yvonne Wan, an award-winning artist and creator of Focus Comic, paints portraits of these heroes. She regularly presents these paintings and awards to heroes and their family members.

Everyone at Focus Comic thanks Pizzillo for helping youth and honoring both living and fallen heroes. For more information about Focus Comic, visit focuscomic.com and contact Yvonne Wan at [email protected].
